WE7 and PES3 are all the same game, just re-titled for different regions, with PES being the franchise´s European name. <BR> <BR>As for an update with my kit work, I am essentially done with Columbus and New England now, to add to my previous work on Chicago and San Jose. Have yet to start on the Me...

February 10th is the current date according to gamespot.

Another option is eBay. I got a USB converter with support for 2 PS2 controllers for $8 and have had no complaints about performance, analog sticks and all. <BR> <BR>With your system specs you should get pretty good performance, but you´ll probably have to kill AF and AA (or at the very least turn t...

Time for the techno-music geek´s list.. <BR> <BR>BT - ESCM. Never forget the first time I listened to BT. I remember I had just come back from my friend´s house and I was in a real shitty mood, so I decided to pop it in and listen to it in bed to fall asleep to. 70 minutes later I was still up and b...

"Number 1 movie for me this year has to be "Kill Bill" "
<BR>
<BR>Good to see some love for Kill Bill. I haven´t enjoyed myself at the theatre like I did for that movie in a long time. Too goofy and light on dialogue for an Oscar type film, but a damn fun flick.

I don´t know PK, Comrie seems like a pretty good player to me. He just turned 23, so we are just now seeing what he is capable of. True, he didn´t produce in last year´s playoffs, but I think it´s a little premature to say he can´t hack it in the playoffs altogether. <BR> <BR>I´m a longtime Oilers f...

There´s really not much to make of a box shot, but glad to see the series lives on in some capacity. <BR> <BR>As for the Comrie thing, I saw that the other day too. Just when you think things are getting bad financially in baseball you see something like this in hockey. It´s a good thing the player´...

Damn Jared, you´re not messing around. An america´s super patch would take forever! Those 4 kits took me 4+ days, working a few hours a day. Granted I am getting better and faster at making kits since I only even discovered the process 2 weeks ago, but doing 60+ kits is a frightening prospect. I don...

You don´t install anything or change anything to play with CKR settings, it´s all server side. You just have to find a game online that has CKR in the title. I don´t believe the CoD multiplayer program supports filtering for specific server titles, but I bet you can do it with gamespy (at least you ...

Yeah, I´ll admit that when I play those big outdoor maps I always use the sniper rifle too. What sets it apart from other games like Medal of Honor though is that on those big outdoor levels is you can sneak around a lot more and hide in rock groupings, trees and bushes. Therefore, even though you a...

I hear ya spooky. PC gaming is definitely a love-hate relationship. The thing is, when it´s good, it´s great. I was always a console man, but since I have learned to play FPS games with a mouse and keyboard, going back to a controller, even with dual sticks, just isn´t right. <BR> <BR>Maybe I´ll see...

The kits are coming along. I´m pretty much done with the Fire and San Jose, and have started on Columbus. I know blub is currently working on DC. Maybe looking at a time table of a few weeks before they are all done. <BR> <BR>This project was blub´s idea, so I´m not sure what he has in mind for rost...

Damn man, that´s some pretty hardcore stuff. I´ve never played the CM series, so I can´t visualize the system all that well, but it sounds like you´ve got all the details covered. Should be very useful though, as Blub and I are currently hard at work on MLS kits for a future patch. I´m already getti...

You´ll need a pretty good PC to play PES3. There are a number of widely reported issues floating around, and to get it to run smoothly on my machine (P4 1.8 Ghz, 512 RAM, XP, GeForce Ti500) I have to set it to 800x600 with low details. Even then it stutters at times (does this at certain times regar...

Sports: Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (PC)
<BR>Runner-up: Tiger Woods 2004 (PC)
<BR>
<BR>Non-sports: Call of Duty (PC) I guess.

<BR>Biggest Dissapointment: ESPN Hockey (PS2)
<BR>
<BR>Biggest Surprise: NHL 2004 (Multi)

How big are the photoshop files. If they are small enough you can email them to me (manaples@davidson.edu). Even if we end up doing them from scratch seeing them would help me because right now my biggest problem is working the sleeves, shoulders and chests together (never even tried anything on the...

Sure, I wouldn´t mind helping out for that project, as I would certainly be interested in playing it. What needs to be done for conversion? I have the basic jersey skills down, but am no expert at this point. Just let me know what you need and I´ll do what I can.

It seems to me that a lot of these main stream review outlets like EGM and gamespot seem to base their sports reviews on the street rep of last year´s version, rather than taking a hard look at the new edition. I mean, how else can you explain the flip-flop of reviewers scores between ESPN and NHL t...

I really need to find something better to do with my time..... <BR> <BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.davidson.edu/personal/manaples/Snaps/both.gif"><!-- BBCode End --> <BR> <BR>Anyway, I think I´m done with it for now.

Konami has talked about how they would like to expand their horizons with the series, but WE7 will not be coming to Xbox when it hits the US in February for PS2. Although they haven´t been specific, it seems to me Konami is dropping hints that WE8 will be on Xbox though.

I haven´t really decided on the away kit yet. It´s still in the planning stages, so I´d be happy to take any suggestions. This one was white and blue because it was easy to do a solid white jersey and blue is the only real color in the DSP scheme. I was thinking black shorts with the kinda teal top,...

Chalk up a third vote for NHL 2004. I never got more than 10 games into an ESPN franchise before I got frustrated and restarted with new slider scheme, but NHL just provided a more fun, consistently challenging game. Not crazy about the upgrade points system in the franchise and the computer shoots ...

Well, not really, but check these shots out. <BR> <BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.davidson.edu/personal/manaples/Snaps/teamselect.gif"><!-- BBCode End --> <BR> <BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.davidson.edu/personal/manaples/Snaps/pregame.gif"><!-- BBCode End --> <BR> <BR><...

Damn, just watching the highlights from the game on nhl.com was exciting. The atmosphere was just unbelievable. The camera angles were awesome too because they could put cameras all around the boards. I felt like I was watching a video game when they had the camera on the glass follow the rush up th...
